Having a tribe of women to love and support you can literally change your life.  The following 25 tips will help you create a stronger bond with your lady friends.  And, if you don’t have a tribe yet, I also give you 10 ways to find one.  Enjoy!

Sisterhood

We each need a sense of belonging.  We need a tribe, a sisterhood that we know we can count on and be part of.

We’re connected, as women.  It’s like a spiderweb.  If one part of the web vibrates, if there’s trouble, we all know it, but most of the time we’re just too scared, or selfish, or insecure to help.  But if we don’t help each other, who will? – Sarah Addison Allen

That’s the point of sisterhood.  We need our tribe to help us out and we need to be able to help others.

Where Do I Find a Tribe?

There are so many ways that you can find or enlarge your tribe.  But, you have to be willing to put yourself out there, to be vulnerable, and to do a little work to make connections.

Consider meeting other women at:

* Work

* School

* Church

* Parent’s of your kid’s playmates

* Meet ups

* Family gatherings

* Friends of friends

* Neighbors

* Civic clubs / volunteer activities

* Hobbies
